[QUOTE="Slerion, post: 1013354, member: 50259"] So 3 weeks ago a court decided that "liking" a post/comment / whatever on social media [B]CAN BE A CRIME[/B] If you like something Insulting , racist , hate or anything [B]illegal[/B] you could get Penalized with fines , to Huuge fines , and even jail of up to 2 years even Instantous Home invasions from the Police could happen JUST FOR LIKING THINGS. Small Tl,dr to how it happened that this court decision was made. It all started with one dude posting on facebook "No silcence for the Dead policemen and these are Creatures" which is a Misdemeanor to the Dead ( illegal in Germany ) Which then someone " Liked " Which the state said "he did a crime with that like" and ordered a [B]Home Search[/B] ( Like no warning , no letter , no invitation to the Police a INSTANT home search for a like ) with a Warrant of that dude that "liked the post" The Logic behind this is that if you "like" something you make this Statement your own. Which makes it more Dangerous. Lets Say Theoretically a Right wing Politican says " Brown people bad , But we also need to Push education" if you like this Post now for the Education part YOU COULD BE in danger for Racism. Also you could by accident click things , or even worse have Viruses developed aiming at germans now Literarily Liking bad things which is already crazy enough. Now in Germany law wise its a Hot topic what is a "like" legally wise , What does a "like" mean , Theoretically this could now go overboard entirely privacy and law wise. also in the room is now if you with a "like" approve of certain crimes which is another crime and more. the police raided dude got every electronical device taken from him.
